The CLV-401A Camera Link Video Splitter interfaces one Camera Link camera to two frame grabbers using standard  Camera Link cables.  This arrangement enables the addition of a second frame grabber (or other acquisition device) for functions such as camera setup, secondary/parallel processing, monitoring, and recording. 
 
One frame grabber acts as master and provides control and communications to the camera.  The second frame grabber receives camera video data only.
 
The CLV-401A is compatible with Camera Link ”base” configuration cameras (i.e. one Camera Link cable from camera).  A front-panel link status indicator identifies an active connection.
 
The CLV-401A is housed in sturdy aluminum enclosure.
